About this map

The village of Convoy anchors this Northwest Ohio landscape, shown at the start of the 21st century as a distinct hub in an area of long-standing agricultural tradition. The town layout is clearly defined around the Convoy Post Office, with the diagonal route of the Lincoln Hwy cutting across the geometric grid of county roads. This road network, following the township and range survey system, creates a patchwork of fields drained by a series of small waterways including Upper Prairie Creek, Hagerman Creek, and Monkey Run.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the township, such as Sugar Ridge Cemetery and Township Cemetery near the village center, and the Redeemer Lutheran Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery further south. These sites, along with the Friends Church, reflect the community's ancestral roots and the importance of localized rural institutions. The small settlement of Richey appears in the southeastern corner, situated near where Hoaglin Creek meanders toward the county line.
